Made in Abyss fans are split over PROJECT ReMiA, a fan-made edited version of the manga This makes small changes to some drawings and words to reduce or remove sexual content with young-looking characters while keeping the main story and all key plot parts exactly the same. The team has released the first four volumes and calls it a helpful option for readers who enjoy the story and the scary feeling but want to skip certain uncomfortable parts. The creators say it is not a replacement for the original manga and urge people to buy the official books. Supporters think the changes are a kind way to let more people enjoy and share the series without crossing their personal limits. Critics say changing the work shows disrespect to creator Akihito Tsukushi’s original vision because those parts are important to the themes of vulnerability and the dark power of the Abyss.
